2 BailoutWith Wall Street near ruin, everyone turned to the government to take action. But calling its intervention on behalf of financial services companies a “bailout” angered numerous taxpayers, who would like to see their dollars used to help themselves out of financial trouble as well.

3 Joe the PlumberThe bald pate of Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, became the symbol for the hard-working, average American man.
